Day: February 22, 2019

Last week, 4,000 participants from 140 nations gathered in Dubai for the annual World Government Summit. The 2019 Summit focused on “climate change.” That’s the refurbished name for “global warming.” I suppose they felt they needed to refocus the name for the crisis when the winters started getting colder and the amount of arctic ice started increasing. One of the featured speakers was the actor, Harrison Ford. I’m not certain whether it’s his portrayal of Indiana Jones in the “Raiders of the Lost Ark” series or his turns as Han Solo in the “Star Wars” films that qualified him to …

Reflections Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (Heb. 2:14-15) The victory of Jesus Christ over death, and over Satan, was not merely a legal victory. It was a living victory – accomplished through death and resurrection. When Adam sinned he put the entire Adam race under the sentence of death. Jesus did not come …

While the three unique members of the Trinity are each fully God, they function as a unit. Matthew 28:18 – 28:20 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen. Years ago, after I preached about God’s Spirit, a …

Grace is free. Not a surprise. But exactly what are the ramifications for a Christian person? How do you receive that which is freely given? The fact that GRACE is freely given – the fact that grace could be defined as, “God’s UNMERITED favor” – this is a fact that literally defines the New Covenant in Christ. It is a Truth that stands at the heart of the good news. Grace is the New Covenant principle. But grace is also everywhere in the Old Testament. The difference is that the OT emphasis is upon our NEED for grace. All of …

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Please take a moment to consider the love of God which is manifested in the person of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. God sent His Son into the world to be your Saviour from sin. God gave His Son to die upon the Cross and …

Because God loves us, He hates pride. After all, He knows the harm it brings to us Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV) 16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. Humility is a healthy, godly sense of our merits, talents, and achievements. In the life of the believer, one thing stands as an obstacle to humility: …

The Book of Life is but one of the books maintained in Heaven that is opened at the Great White Throne, bearing the record of our sojourn upon this earth. Understand that the Great White Throne Judgment is not a New Testament doctrine — it is a universal doctrine. The Prophet Daniel described it in his vision exactly as the Apostle John described the same scene 700 years later. “I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, Whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool: His …
